Police and families across province share ‘Stories, not Statistics’ as part of Missing Persons Week – Meadowlake Now
May 1, 2024
Kristopher Billette of Buffalo River Dene Nation, Byran Watson of Maple Creek and William ‘Michael’ Neuman of Canora have one tragic thing in common; they were all reported missing in 2023 and so far, have not been found.
They are just some of the 2,533 individuals reported missing to Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdictions last year; 550 missing males, 450 missing females and 1,150 youths. But, they are more than just numbers or names in a police file.
“They are loved and deeply missed by their families and friends, and we hope that, as we mark Missing Persons Week, we can help support loved ones, while raising awareness about missing persons cases in Saskatchewan,” said Justice Minister and Attorney General Bronwyn Eyre at a ceremony in Regina Tuesday followed by a walk in Wascana Park to honour the missing.
